Vanity easily wounded and a leaning to resignation seem to run in the Casimir- Perier blood, says AM@hur Brishane in the New York World. A correspondent refers to the resignation of the elder Casimir- Perier, who was chos:n head of the conselil under Louis Philippe. This Casimir-Perier refused to ge cn with his political work because the aristocrats refused to pay him sufficient attention. The modern Perier re- signs because the socialists at the bottom of the social ladder ettack him. The elder Dumas deseri the rage of the elder Casimir-Perier. Perhaps the younger "u- Tas will wr about the “demission” of the younger Casimir-Perier. The Ancestral Perter. In the following manner tha elder Dumas described the first Casimir-Ferier resigna- tion: Perier had just been chosen head of the conseil. He was to make his first ap- pearance at court, and the court, which did not approve of him, decided to hurt his feelings. They supposed they could do that with impunity. Casimir-Perier appeared in the great hall at the Palais Royal. The ushers marie no announcement of the arrival, the aids gath- ered in little groups an« appeared intensely interested ‘in their own conversation, the queen stared at the wall without giving any sign of recognition, the Duke of Or- leans deliberately turned his back to the acer, Mme. Adelaide put upon her face an expression of contempt that was unmis- takable, and the king stood alone at the further end of the room with a question- able smile upon his lips. Casimir-Perier took in the situation at a glance, and, walking the full length of the apartment in a dignitled manner apd to- tally igrered by the entire company, he stopped befcre the king and, making a re- spectful salute, said: “Sire, [ have the honor of requesting a private interview.” ‘The king led the way into his private room, Casimir-Perier closed the decor be- hind them, and without any excuse or cir- eumlocution he said: “Sire I have the honor of offering my vr,” exclaimed king, “what de you mean by that?” re,” replied the minister, whose face was white with rage, “my enemies in the clubs, my enemies in the streets, my ene- 3 in the chamber, I care nothirg about, but my enemies in the court, to which 1 have devoted my name, my courage, my fertune, are toa much. I have not the strength, I freely admit your majesty, to withstand such hatrec The King Needed Him. In @ voice filled with persr words filled with flattery the king with the minister, but Casimir-Perier re- peated incessantly: “Sire, I have the honor of offering my Fesignation to y@ur majesty.” here ten minutes, my dear M. and you shail be free,” he said. The minister bowed in silence and the t the room. ng those ten minutes the king ex- . to his sister and to sity for retaining good will of M.

When he reached the door an usher cried, and the cry was taken up by others down the stairs: “The carriage of Monsieur, the president of the conseil!” Casimir-Perier remained president of the conseil. The elder Casimir-Perier resigned because the aristocrats thought he was too com- mon for them. The younger Casimir-Perier resigns because the common people think he is too aristocratic for them. This shows us that we may get up in the world and still have our troubles. —_--+ e+ ____ KANSAS SENATORSHIP. Republican Caucus Begins Balloting at Topeka. ‘The republican caucus to nominate a United States Senator met in the senate chamber at $ o'clock last night at Topeka, Kan. Before the caucus organization was completed A. W. Smith withdrew, thus re- leasing four votes, two of which were claimed by the Burton man and one each by Hood and Ady. The balloting pro- ceeded without nominating speeches. The full ballot resulted: J. R. Burton, 37; Cal- vin Hood, 15; J. W. Ady, 17; S. O. Thatcher, 17; Joha J. Ingalls, A. H. Horton and Lu- cien Baker, 1 each. Necessary for @ choice, o4. Second ballot—Burton, 39; Hood, 20; Le- land, 14; Ady, 14; Thatcher, 17; Horton, 2; Baker, 1. After taking six other ballots without re- sult the caucus adjourned at a late hour till today. Burton made gains on each bal- lot, lacking but seven of nomination in the eighth. After the first ballot Ingalls did not receive a vote. After the adjournment Burtoh’s friends began working for him like Trojans, and at a late hour last night claimed to have secured the necessary votes to nominate him today. On the contrary, the opposi- tion to him generally assert that Burton has reached his high-water mark. coo An Important Pension Ruling. In the United States district court at Baltimcre yesterday, Judge Morris, who is presiding at the trial of Lawyer Garri- tee, for allesed pension swindling, made an important ruling. The question raised was this: ¥ ‘Can the section of the pension laws making it a crime to demand or receive an illegal pension fee be properly construed tu cover a suit for pay for ‘professional services’ rendered in connection with a pension case by a lawyer, who is not the attorney of record in the case?’ Judge Morris decidzd that" the law can be so construed, and, moreover, ought to be so construed, whenever it is shown that the “professional services,” as a mat- ter of fact, do operate toward the prose- eution of a claim; in other words, when- ever these services help an applicant to get his pension. of fe Release of the Amadis. The, steam yacht Amadis was released from custody at Savannah last night by Capt. Rogers of the re ‘enue cutter Bout- well cn telegraphic: criers from Washing- ton. In response to telegrams from Treasury Department at Washington, Col- lector Beckwith advised Secretary Carlisle that the papers of the Amadis were all right; that there wer? no wexpons or ammunitions found on her, and that | there was nothing to indicate that the captain or -erew had shipped for |a filibustering expedition.

SENATOR THURSTON’S VIEWS. Would Redeem United States Notes in Gold or Silver. In acknowledging his election to the United States Senate, Mr. Thurston yester- day at Lincoln, Neb., said regarding the outflow of gold from the treasury: “I would put a stop to the outflow of gold from the treasury; first, by requiring that all import duties should be paid in gcld, at the option of the treasurer of the United States, and, second, by insisting upon the right of redemption in either gold or silver of outstanding notes, whenever it becomes apparent that such redemptien is being «lemanded for speculative purposes. It is said that such a policy would drive gold to a premium. In my judgraent we can better afford to have gold at a pre- mium than prosperity at a discount. “I do not believe in any of the banking schemes which have heen proposed by the dominant party in Congress. No pank in the United States should be permitted to issue a single dollar until its redemption is fully secured by the deposit of government bonds in the national treasury. ‘There should be no resurrection of the wild-cat money by the general government or by any state in the Urion. Our national bank- ing system should be preserved. . Jt is the best that human ingenuity has yet de- vised. I favo: amendments, however, on the following particulars: ‘The substitution of a low-interest bond as security for the national bank issue—this substitution Would of itself refund to that extent the government bonded indebtedness; author- ity to issue bank notes to the full amount of the bond deposits; collection of a tax on the entire authorized issue, and the impo- sition of a heavy penalty or forfeiture of charter for failure to keep it all in circu- lation. “I do not agree with those who would re- tire our greenbacks and treasury notes. 1 am in favor of keeping every one in circu- lation. And there can be no danger in do- ing so if we will adopt the policy already stated of meeting all speculative demands for redemption by tender of either gold or silver, at the option of the government, in accordance with the specific terms of the contract.” toe. Frostburg Stirred Up. A special to the Baltimore News from Frostburg, Md., says: At the funeral services of Miss Lillie Nickel,which were held here on Monday,the Rev. Britt of the English Lutheran Church preached a powerful sermon, which is stir- ring up Frostburg yet. He referred to the meddlesome busy-bodies of the neighbor- hood in scathing language, saying that those who had slandered the fair name of the dead girl, deserv84 “to be hanged up by their tongues,” and those who had listened to the falsehood deserved “to be hanged up by the ears.” Mr. Britt said that the malicious man who started the stories about the girl stood guilty of her murder. Some time ago she heard that a traveling man had made remarks deroga- tory to her character, upon which she got a revolver and made the man retract what he had said. When unlcading the weapon it was discharged, causing her death. ——_+e-+___ Gov. Lord Sworn In. Both branches of the Oregon legislature met ir joint session yesterday.

RIFLES HALL The British Aaibaaadet Entertains in Honor of thd Cabinet. THE CABINET RECEPTIONS Mrs. Cleveland, who has been indisposed for several days past, as @ result ofa severe ccld contracted at ‘the New Year day re- ception, and aggravated by exposure at the diplomatic reception last Thursday, 1s reported to be much better today. Cards have been issued for a reception by Mrs. Cleveland Saturday afternoon, and there is no doubt that the fair mistress of the White House will be well and strong enough to perform her duties as hostess on that occasion. Society was again asked to remember the little waifs at the Children’s Hospital, and has again responded generously to the call. The charity ball at the Rifles’ Hall last night was an event in which those,who participated had the pleasure of meeting many of their friends, and a3 a spectacle for those unaccustomed to frequent glimpses of a society turn out a perfectly satisfactory experience. The ball began at 10, althoygh the ladies of the reception ccmmittee presented a strong front to wel- come the incoming guests a few minutes after 9. From 10 to 11 the arrivals were continuous, and the scene in the ball room momentarily assumed greater degrees of brilliancy as familiar and preminent fig ures in the social whirl appeared on the floor, After 11 dinner companies from the West End added a dozen or two partici- pants, who still had plenty of energy left to enjoy a dance or two and to carry home with them the everlasting gratitude of the patronesses of the ball, who assuredly de- pend upon their friends to come to the front on such occasions. The oldest habitue of charity balls woula have found few of the families who have always shown an in- terest in this charity unrepresented in ths throng. Changes in the board of lady man- agers at the hospital have, naturally, re- placed some of those hitherto prominent in the reception committee. The hall was very tastefully decorated. The windows were draped in pink, the walls sprayed over with wild laurel and clematis vine, the stage handsomely set with palms and well-appointed with the ap- propriate drawing room touches, and a rosy hue was thrown over everything and everybcdy by the lights shining through pink shades. As a gathering of the diplo- matic or official world, the ball was a fail- ure, as these desirable personages could be counted on the fingera ef ene hand, but as an outpouring of the residential set, the ball can go down ‘n histofy as an eminent- ly satisfactory event.—-The gentlemen who for years have been 1 workers for the success of the Rosita ir.

T., dispatch says: An- other crime is laid at the door of the French gang of outlaws. Tuesday night Jim French, the leader, and Sam McWill- iams, cne of the most desperate men of the gang, appeared at the house of a Mr. Glad, ten miles ut from Fort Gibson. They de- manded admittance, and because Glad did not rcspond quick enough to suit them they began shooting from theff Winchesters into the house. Two of the bullets struck Glad in the arm, fracturing it, and two more caught Mrs. Glad just above the elbow, severing her arm. During the melee a daughter of the old folks attempted to make her escape. Before she had reached twenty feet from the house she sank to the ground, with two bullets from the outlaws’ Winchesters in her body. The outlaws, ncw apparently satisfied with their work, quietly rode away. The Giad family are inoffersive Cherokees. All are seriously wounded. The night before French and McWilliams held up a store at Fort Gib- son, getting a small amount of cash and some clothing, and the same night they attempted to rob tle Fort Gibson and Tahlequah stage, but were scared away. Officers were sent out to capture the out- laws. — +00 —___ Free Fight in a Convention. After the nomination for receiver of taxes had been made by the Philadelphia dem- ocratic convention yesterday magisterial nominations were declared in order. Seven nominations were made by the regular or- ganization, and a score of others: by the Pennsylvania democracy. The vote show- ed that the “regulars” had been nominated by large majorities. Then the fight com- menced. Permission was asked and granted to change the vote of the third ward. But the chairman reversed his decision, and ordered the secretary to read the vote. In a moment there was a free fight on the platform. One of the delegates struck Sec- retary Sensenderfer, who insisted on read- ing the votes, a stinging blow on the cheek. The rung of a chair, which had been used by the chairman for a gavel, was taken from the table and used to assault Chair- man Belsterling. There were about 100 del- egates on the platform “mauling” each other, when a squad of policemen arrived, and, with difficulty, temporarily quelled the disturbance. A few minutes later another fight was started in the rear of the hall, but it was quickly stopped. eo ooo A St. Louis Elopement.

Con- gressman Niedringhaus announces his en- tire satisfactioa in the marriage, and state ed that the pair had been engaged some months.
